“Isolite has almost replaced the rubber dam in my practice!
It’s much more efficient, and even allows me to dual arch,
quadrantdentistry,withoutstopping.Andsincethepatient
is resting on the mouth prop, I find patients don’t get as fatigued. Isolite is definitely one of the best inventions in dentistry. It’s made not only my job easier, but patients love it and so does my assistant.”

“ The Isolite is wonderful, I love it! It makes sealants go really fast;
in fact I did 16 sealants in about 14 minutes, now that’s productive!
It’s also great for kids, it reduces gagging, and my sealants are now
extraordinary. I get the best isolation ever. As a hygienist I absolutely love it because I’m always doing single-handed sealants.”

MOUTHPIECE PLACEMENT
Isolite Mouthpiece Placement Is Easy-to-Learn…
Like any good technique, practice is the key to success. Use the illustration on the next page to familiarize yourself with the nomenclature of the Isolite mouthpiece. Then, view the instructional DVD that came with your system for a video demonstration of mouthpiece sizing and placement technique. Practice on staff before using on patient procedures.
The latex-free Isolite Mouthpiece is designed as a patient friendly alternative to conventional isolation methods such as the rubber dam or manual suction and retraction You’ll find procedures are surprisingly easier and faster to complete, and patients are happier spending less time in the chair.
Isolite Mouthpieces are for Single-Use Only!

MOUTHPIECE PLACEMENTMOUTHPIECE PLACEMENT
Mouthpiece Sizing
The first step before placing the Isolite mouthpiece is to determine the correct mouthpiece size for the patient. Selecting the correct mouthpiece size is usually quick and easy. Mouthpiece size is determined by measuring the interincisal opening(seechart).Mostadults(65%-75%)willbeasizemediummouthpiece.
Wehavedevelopedahandytechniquecalledthe“Two-,Three-,Four-Finger Technique”toquicklygaugemouthpiecesize.Simplyuseyourfingerstodeter-mine interincisal opening and then choose the corresponding mouthpiece size.
Occasionally, a patient will be between sizes. In that case, if possible, you want to choose the larger size.
Please view the instructional DVD included with your Isolite dryfield illuminator for a complete demonstration of sizing and placement. The video is also located online at: isolitesystems.com/video.

TROUBLE SHOOTING Problem: I don’t have a second HVE port
There are a few suction systems that do not come with a second HVE port standard. In this case you have two options:
Option 1:Usea“Y”-adaptertosplityourexistingsuctionline.A Y-adapteris included with your Isolite dryfield Illuminator accessories kit with instructions on its use. It is simple to use and install, but if you have any trouble whatsoever, please phone our customer support team at 800-560-6066.
Option 2: Contact your local dealer or branch service technician to determine necessary equipment for connection to your vacuum canister. Contact numbers for two of the leading service organizations are listed here for your convenience.

Henry Schein Pro Service: 1-800-645-6594
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem: I can’t connect the Isolite Vac Canister Hose onto my second HVE port. The connecting hose seems just a bit too small.
Vacuum connections must have a tight seal for proper functionality, so the Vacuum Canister Hose is manufactured to be a snug fit. To assist in installation, place the 6-inch Vac Canister Hose into a cup of boiling hot water for three to five minutes. This will make the hose extremely pliable. Remove from water and immediatelyworktubingontoport.Forfurtherassistance,contactourcustomersupport team.
Problem: I don’t have an extra slot on my tool bar.
If you don’t have an extra slot on your tool bar, you can order a wide-variety of toolbars,toolbarextensionsandotheraccessoriesfromDCIInternational(www.dcionline.com).TheIsolitedryfieldilluminatorwillfitintomosthighorlowvolumeslots. If none of these tool bar options seem suitable, you may want to contact your dental equipment technician to make sure that you secure an additional tool bar that is specific to your dental delivery system.
Problem: Our connections do not match the standard configurations shown in your set-up instructions and I don’t know how to connect my new Isolite dryfield Illuminator.
The Isolite dryfield Illuminator has been designed to install easily in most dental operatories. However, there are some dental delivery models that are not standard. If your connections don’t match the standard configuration shown in the installa-tioninstructions,pleasephoneourcustomerserviceteam.Wewillworkwithyoutosolveyourconnectivityissueandgetyouupandrunning.Whenyoucall,pleaselet us know what type of chair/delivery unit you have.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
42 43
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem: Isolite is pulling on the patient’s mouth.
Depending on chair position and procedure length you may experience the Isolite pulling on the patient’s mouth. Often times this is because the patient is in too uprightofaposition;layingthepatientbackfurtherwillreducepull.Anothersolution is to run the Power/Vacuum Hose behind the patient’s neck. This will ensure that there is no weight/tension on the patients’ mouth.
Problem: Patient gag reaction when placing mouthpiece
Whenplacedcorrectly,theIsolitemouthpiecedoesnottouchthegag-sensitiveareas or cause patients to gag. If you experience gag reactions on patients that are not normally overly gag-sensitive, your mouthpiece placement technique needs improvement. Review the Instructional DVD included with your system and practice mouthpiece placement with members of your practice team until you can place the mouthpiece in one smooth motion. You should have excellent patient acceptance on the vast majority of dental patients. Some patients have a strong gag reflex and won’t tolerate Isolite well.
Problem: Light shuts off unexpectedly or is intermittent
Your Isolite dryfield illuminator should not shut off unexpectedly or demonstrate intermittent light. Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged into the Power/VacuumHoseandthatthepoweradapterispluggedintothewall.Forother problems with the light, call our customer service team for technical support.
Problem: Isolite unit is hot to the touch
Isolite uses your high-volume suction to cool the LED light source. Sometimes, if the Isolite is operated for long periods of time without the suction, the unit will become warm to the touch. To cool the unit, turn the vacuum on and turn the light off. Depending on your vacuum system, the unit should cool rapidly. If the unit becomes hot to the touch and does not cool as indicated above, call the customer service team for technical support.
Problem: Vacuum is turned off, but there is a hissing sound from the system
Your vacuum controls are the two levers on the either side of the main housing. Sometimes, after extensive use or multiple cleanings, the O-ring seals become compromised and the seals needs to be re-established. Make sure that the O-rings arecleanandlubricated(Vaselineorasimilarproductworkswellforthis).Ifthisdoes not work, you may need to have your vacuum control levers replaced.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Problem: I am experiencing a loss of suction
Your Isolite dryfield illuminator has two channels of high-volume suction that run all the way from the single-use mouthpiece, to the Vacuum/Light Pipe, through the i2 Titanium Control Head and then into the Power/Vacuum Hose. It is possible that debris can become lodged within the vacuum system at any of these points. Regular cleaning is a critical step in keeping your vacuum line open and pulling well.IfyourpracticeusestheCERECCAD/CAMsystem,smallvacuumclogsmay be the result of excess powder from taking optical impressions.
Clean your system according to the cleaning instructions shown in your Instructional DVD(orviewthevideoonlineatwww.isolitesystems.com/video).Theremaybeaclog in the system which will need to be dislodged.
